Members boatsinbottles Posted August 16, 2011 Members Share Posted August 16, 2011 Back in the 90s (I think), I recall seeing a distortion pedal in the MF catalog. It had a bank of LEDs in a row to show how much gain was being used. Instead of a standard pot, it had a wah or volume pedal-type control to control the gain level interactively while playing. Do you know what it was? Sorry I can't give a better description. Searching eBay and Google hasn't helped... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted August 16, 2011 Members Share Posted August 16, 2011 That wasn't a distortion pedal. It was the original Visual Sound Visual Volume pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I should probably explain... "This" is a HC meme... it's something that a lot of us (myself included ) use as a sort of shorthand way of agreeing with a post. And I could answer this thread basically the same way. The way the item is described in the original post, the only thing I can think of that sounds remotely close is the Visual Sound Visual Volume pedal. And it sounds to me exactly like what you're describing: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/visual-sound-visual-volume-pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted August 17, 2011 Members Share Posted August 17, 2011 There was an Akai distortion pedal with a tredle for gain, but it didn't have the LEDs to show the gain level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members loosegroove Posted August 17, 2011 Members Share Posted August 17, 2011 They did have a few prototypes for an overdrive/distortion blues pedal that is along what you're talking about, but that was never released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
